Webroot Software Inc. of Boulder, Colo., began shipping a new software developer's kit for adding perimeter spyware protection to enterprise networks. RockSafe E1000 scans both URLs and binaries to protect inbound and outbound network traffic. Company officials said the SDK would allow security companies to add the capabilities of Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise and its spyware definition database to their appliances. The first products with integrated RockSafe functionality are expect this fall.
